1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

Pompe disease (PD) is a rare, autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by a deficiency in acid α-glucosidase. In the Phase 3 COMET trial (NCT02782741), respiratory function was examined in participants with late-onset PD randomized to receive enzyme replacement therapy with alglucosidase alfa (ALG; standard of care) or avalglucosidase alfa (AVA; intervention) in the primary analysis period (PAP). The open-label extended treatment period (ETP) provided long-term data on AVA treatment. This post hoc analysis evaluated respiratory outcomes in participants who received ALG in the PAP (Weeks 0-49) and switched to AVA in the ETP (Weeks 49-145). Participants were categorized according to improvement in upright forced vital capacity percent-predicted (FVC) at Week 49. Forty-four participants were included, of whom 20 (45.5%) had ΔFVC > 0% predicted at Week 49. Among ΔFVC > 0% predicted participants, FVC improved during the PAP (estimated slope [SE]: 4.0 (1.1) %/year,
